Forgot to add I have a few Lucky crafts I'm pretty fond of as well.

The pike and muskie are fond of mine! ;D If I feel a big pike or muskie nearby (through the force, you know) I put them away and get out something that costs less than $5. Some of those catch fish pretty good too anyway!

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Got Fish??

 My favorite? Storm's Wiggel Wart(chromegold and black), next is bradd's lure(chromegold and black). Both are know longer made. If you find them on line. They are $20 or more,well Worth it in my eye's.

Caught my biggest smallie in my club on a C-Flash this year, so I was pretty happy with that crank. Unfortunately I lost it later in the day. I'll be buying a couple more at the Novi show.
I like the strikeking and jackit cranks too.

Looks like I need to check out Ram based on the reviews...

Not too much detail on the RAM website, but they're sold from a store in Kzoo. 

Are these made in Michigan?

Waterfoul

RAM baits are made right here in the Grand Rapids area by my friends Randy and Aaron Mast (R.A.M... get it?).  They are a high quality, hand made and painted bait.  I believe they have a facebook page and you should be able to get them at D&R Sports in K-zoo.

They have had a spot at the Grand Rapids show the last couple years as well.
Addicted to fishing.  All the time, any species, anywhere!!  Especially in West Michigan!!!

Most everybody makes cranks that can slay the bass, but not everbody makes them all the same.

I carry Normans, Bandits and Strike Kings, but you gotta be careful when you buy them.  Quality control isn't as tight; only one out of ten of the same bait will run just right, and become one of those go to baits.  The other nine will catch some fish, but not to the degree that one will.

Lucky Craft, Megabass, etc. are a different story.  Just better quality control.  That's what the $$ are all about.  You're paying them to be picky.

I carry a lot of different brands, but I make sure all of them are well functioning tools.

Thanks Waterfowl!
Makes me feel a bit better spending that type of money on a lure knowing they are made in the same state. 

I'll definately give these a try.

you can get RAMs at the outdoorsman in jenison or contact aaron or randy directly through the website. i don't know if D&R carries them or not.
